About

Videos of the travels of Railfan Danny Harmon. Born and raised in Florida, I love Florida railroads, but I also range out to more states. I currently shoot with a Sony AX-700 camcorder, two GoPro Hero 13 Blacks and a DJI Air 2S drone. I edit on an iMac using Final Cut Pro11 and create graphics with Apple Motion.
